Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for August 19, 2024

I guess that’s why Amelia crashed.

I’m surprised they didn’t do Thai Chi.

Pinch those pennies American Airlines

Oh, lawdy — that $40,000 one-olive hoax is back…

Just think how much they would have save if they left off the tomatoes!

I bet Amelia had quite the headache from the smelling salt.

Think of the fumes they were breathing in under that plane filled sky!

Everyone should have to go to the bathroom before boarding the plane.

AA’s greed knows no bounds.

And yet she disappeared without a trace.

One night in Bangkok, and you’ll practice yoga.

A guy walks into a bar with his pet monkey, orders a drink and while he’s drinking it, the monkey jumps around all over, grabs some olives off the bar, eats them, grabs some sliced limes, eats them, jumps up on the pool table, grabs a cue ball, sticks it in his mouth and swallows it whole.

The bartender screams at the guy, “Did you see what your monkey just did?”

The guy says, “No, what?”

“He just ate the cue ball off my pool table, whole!” says the bartender.

“Yeah, that doesn’t surprise me.” replied the patron. “He eats everything in sight. I’ll pay for the cue ball and stuff.”

He finishes his drink, pays his bill, and leaves. Two weeks later he’s in the bar again and he has his monkey with him. He orders a drink and the monkey starts running around the bar again. While the man is drinking his drink, the monkey finds a maraschino cherry on the bar. He grabs it, sticks it up his butt, pulls it out, and eats it.

The bartender is disgusted.

“Did you see what your monkey did now?”, he asks.

“Now what?”, responds the patron.

“Well, he stuck a maraschino cherry up his butt, then pulled it out and ate it!” says the barkeeper.

“Yeah, that doesn’t surprise me.” replied the patron. “He still eats everything in sight, but ever since he ate that cue ball, now he measures everything first!”

Some people are naturally immune to the stimulant effects of coffee and tea. Was Amelia one of them?

And what do they save if they eliminate the entire dish?

…and they saved $40,000,000 a year by eliminating meals altogether, and they made $80,000,000 a year by charging for meals.

I love the smell and roar of jet engines during morning yoga.

Those olives were the best part of the salad

One olive is plenty.

Now, the airlines chuckle darkly when anyone mentions that they used to serve some kind of food. Couple of recent flights, we weren’t even served the packet of seven peanuts. But that’s okay- we were all just grateful that they bothered to fly the flight we’d all paid to be on that day. Wasn’t that nice of them?

I find that the factoid about Amelia Earhart stinks.

When they practiced yoga at the airport, they did the Downward Boeing.

The problem is, it doesn’t stop at one olive, or American Airlines. This type of thinking is why everything always gets worse. In fact, everything will always get as bad as it possibly can be (but no worse) because profits are optimized when everybody is unhappy with everything.

Oh goody, yoga in jet exhaust fumes. I can imagine healthier ways to do it…

The airlines are contemplating half-seats (non-seats ?):

Imagine the money that American Airlines could save if they eliminated the weight of all the passengers.
